Shifting Foundations
We've built walls where bridges could be, Painted skies with the dull gray of "should be" Instead of the wild colors of "could be." Look around you What do you call a failure? What do you name success? Who taught you these definitions, And did you ever question the test? We pour ourselves into vessels others crafted, Then wonder why we feel contained. Society isn't...

Shifting in Stillness
I am learning in a way Sunday teaches In stillness In the pause before the next step In slowness Letting the world hum around me without needing an answer In knowing that growth does not only ask for effort, But presence. Some wisdom only finds you when you are still enough to receive it And so, I let this moment shape me Let its...

There's room in my chair if you'd like to sit too The space that is open is contoured to you An afghan to cover us cozy and snug Cuddled together, two bugs in a rug There's room in my chair if you'd like to sit here I won't bite, don't worry, have you no fear But wait, just a moment, let's...

Shifting
You were my distraction from the pain, But I thank God you were there anyway, You can only feel and cry so much, When with every tear you wonder when is enough enough, Until God sends someone to ease the blow, To take you away from all you know, For a time you forgot the pain you felt, And your focus shifts...

As sand is slowly shifting through an hour glass, so are the remaining earthly days, of our lives
It was something that the Holy Spirit, recently gave unto me as an open vision. He showed me the picture of an hour glass that was practically almost running out of time. And than I saw the word "RAPTURE!" Right along with these very self same words, "WE ARE VERY RAPIDLY RUNNING OUT OF TIME!" The Holy Spirit...

Shifting Gears
Daffodils were bobbing, I never thought to ask why? January was the coldest - dreams don't care and the yellow trumpets were almost speaking and I almost listening. However, sex got through this bucolic view, the daffs turned into a belly dancer I once admired in Luxor. Now I am being scolded by a demi-god with goat horns on his curly head. It's not happy with my expansive outlook. I need...

Ephemeral Time
Sifting through the sands of time Ephemeral it fades away As water flows down the river It's constantly on the move Time and tide waits for no one Instead of lamenting the past We should seize every moment Fulfil our dreams and wishes Till our time on this earth is over And death knocks at our door....

There’s fire in those eyes Flames flicker from finger tips Her voice is forged from thunder She has such shapely hips She’s not quick to anger Still you do not want her scorn Her’s is the soul of a warrior Heaven sent not mortal born She is the thing of legends Impossible to understand With subtle smile upon her lips The sky she does...

Line of inquiry: "here I am in human form, but it was not always quite so earth is not the only planet I’ve been to through past life regressions I definitely know" Flashbacks flicker of images unknown, wandering in gardens of cosmic scents. Beyond this existence we're not alone, as past is seen through Deja Vu events. This form is...

here I am in human form but it was not always quite so earth has been the only I've been to through past life regressions I definitely know ---------- Sometimes flashes of my childhood years would hover on my mind...images of a multiverse, of cosmic dwellings once labeled me a gypsy, a forest nymph or one warrior dared --- these...

"Here I am in human form but it was not always quite so earth is not the only planet I’ve been to through past life regressions, I definitely know" I can hear the chiming of my soul at large ding dong clang it goes all night and day Cinderella in a pumpkin carriage no glass slipper in this...

"here I am in human form, but it was not always quite so earth is not the only planet I’ve been to, through past life regressions I definitely know"- Unseeking Seeker Does the soul shapeshift? Is reincarnation a myth or reality? We cannot dismiss the possibility of the soul, entering another body after death or been resident in other planets or...

Line of inquiry: "here I am in human form but it was not always quite so earth is not the only planet I’ve been to through past life regressions I definitely know" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I live in a world of dreams. Since the accident, only an unwelcome pit of mesmerized mayhem existed. My life here on earth was a confused state of amnesia. Regression seemed...

The universal, eternal Atman, the endless soul Resides in me as my breath, and makes me a single whole. As the breath of the almighty, it is born without sin. It drives, as a life changer, the physique it enters in. When my physique is devoured by the detrimental death My soul takes flight, and in a new life after,...
